NASTURTIUM
in antecoeniis Veterum. Lamprid. in Heliogabalo, c. 20. Barbas sane mullorum tantas iubebat exhiberi, ut pro nasturtiis, apiastris et facelaribus et soeno graeco exhiberet plenis fabatariis ac discis. Et certe inter herbas, quae sapore acres sunt et acutae, adcoque orexin excitantes, Theophrasto ac Plinio l. 20. c. 13. recensetur, et in libris Medicorum foeno graeco non raro iungitur. Sed cum lectio ni huic librin non faveant, Palatinus etiam codex pro nasturtiis habeat nascentis, conicit Salmas. absentis, pro absinthiis, omnino legendum esse, Not. ad l. Imo veteres Persas ad panes quidquam addere, praeter nasturtium, negat ex Xenophonte Tullius l. 5. Tustul. c. 34. quod intelligendum, antequam Mcli a Persis essent subacti. Postquam vero in unum Imperium coaluêre haec gentes, Medorum luxurosam Persae aemulati sunt. Unde de pausania C. Nepos c. 3. epulabutur ait, more Persarum buxuriosius. Vide de apparatu Persico copiose disserentem Athen. l. 4.
